AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The device effectively contains and suppresses fires by distributing fire suppressant fluid over a wide area, reducing damage and risk to firefighters and civilians, while also providing wildlife passages and drainage, and can be used alone or in conjunction with conventional firefighting methods.

Problems solved by technology

Forest fires typically occur during periods of drought caused by extended periods of lack of rain and have the potential to devastate hundreds of thousands, of acres of land.
Unfortunately, these methods can prove ineffective, and too frequently result in the loss of life as well as the destruction of thousands of acres of land and extensive property damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1A shows an embodiment of a fire containment and suppression device 10. An embodiment of the device 10 can comprise one or more fire resistant walls 12. The device 10 includes a dispenser 32 configured to dispense fire suppressant fluid or material through the wall 12.

[0022]FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively, show front and back views of the fire containment and suppression device 10, which comprises a wall 12. The fire containment and suppression device is made using fire-resistant materials. Exemplary fire resistant materials can include concrete, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and / or lightweight materials such as high gauge aluminum or titanium. Lightweight materials can be employed to, inter alia, make the device 10 more portable to facilitate transporting. In other embodiments, heavier materials such as concrete can be employed, as for example with permanent installations where weight and / or insulative thickness is desirable.
